Fine ceramics (advanced ceramics, advanced technical ceramics) — Test method for flexural strength of monolithic ceramics at room temperature

ISO 14704:2008 specifies a test method for determining the flexural strength of monolithic fine ceramics, and whisker- or particulate-reinforced ceramic composites, at room temperature. Flexural strength is one measure of the uniaxial strength of a fine ceramics. This test method may be used for materials development, quality control, characterization and design data-generation purposes.
